tion. 

III.  Conscripts  will  be  detailed  upon  application  by  the  Supply  Asso- 
ciations and  the  Chief  Justices,  when  such  application  is  accompanied  with 
evidence  that  their  services  are  absolutely  necessary  to  enable  them  to  trans- 
port Cotton  to  the  Rio  Grande.
